I have added a little touch of charm with this unique piece that I found while I was out thriftin' one day. When I first saw it, I knew I wanted it...I had no idea what it was ,but I knew just what I was going to do with it. Just as I picked it up and was looking at it...another customer came up...I asked her what she thought it was...she was clueless too. She thought I was going to put it down and walk away and when I didn't, she said...you really don't want that old thing...you bet I do...it's going up on a wall and display black and white photos. The look on her face was priceless...she had no idea that she was talking to somebody that is always thinking outside of the box and with a $6 price tag...she was mine! What do you think this piece is? Mr.CC is guessing that it was part of an old aluminum screen door...I think he might be correct. As I said...my first thought was to display pics on it...but it would also be fun to hang jewelry or display Christmas cards...the possibilities are endless.
Take care and I hope you all
have an awesome weekend,
Linda

My sweet MOM!

My great-nephew John...he is such a sweet child!

Baby Griffin!

This was their Christmas card...great-niece Meryl and
great-nephew Wilson...what a beautiful pic!

I think Brenda is right, it looks like it was attached to an old refrigerator. It's definitely a grate cover of some kind, and it looks like the size you see on the back of a fridge. What ever it is, it suits your style Linda. I love what you did with it, and I love it's rustic charm, and finish. The photos are wonderful. xoxo tami

I think Mr. CC's guess is a good one. I really have no clue. Don't you love when you buy something like this and you get double takes?! Love it! Every house needs a little funky junk! Looks great, along with the family :)Have a super weekend!xo,Michelle

What a great display this makes! I have no idea what it is but love what you have made it! Great thinking outside of the box! Oh enjoy your weekend...I love Mardi Gras fun! Thanks for joining JFF this week. hugs, Linda

You are so great at thinking outside of that box! I just love how you gave this new life and it could not be more perfect up against the blue color on the walls. Thank you so much for linking up to Inspiration Friday Linda! :-)Vanessa

Would have loved to seen her face...for sure! It is so cute there on that turquoise wall - well done!SO, we are wondering, since you'll be celebrating Mardi Gras, if you have a yummy Gumbo recipe? We're having a MG party to shoo away the snow...and are still searching for the perfect Gumbo. If you have one....we'd love for you to share it :)Karla & Karrie

hi Linda!popping in to welcome you to the circle of bliss! sorry it took me so long to get over here.. the circle is growing fast! some inspiring ladies, and lots of fun! hope to see ya in my random neighborhood sometime! :)blessings, -tracie

It's perfect! It wouldn't matter to me what it was, only what it could be. What a great idea to use it as a picture holder and then at Christmas it can hold cards.Thanks for sharing this lovely old "what's it"

Ha! I did something just like that with a very large piece that I found in the trash. One night last summer my 21 year old son and I were driving home and I saw the piece I got laying in someone's trash pile. I yelled at my son to stop so I could get it. He (very reluctantly) did, but he thought I was absolutely crazy. Now, that it is up and full of pics, he tries to take full credit for it every time someone comments on it. Lori L

I don't really have a great guess. When I first glanced at it I thought it was a grate from an old fridge. Crazy guess on my part.I know I want one though! You are a lucky duck. :)http://itsybitsypaper.blogspot.com
